1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The roles that RNA molecules play in the regulation of gene expression have only recently begun to come to light. Recent work in this area has uncovered several complex, RNA-mediated networks of gene regulation in eukaryotic systems. One newly discovered mechanism of RNA mediated gene regulation takes place at the level of transcription. In yeast, plant, and mammalian systems, small RNAs targeted to gene promoters can result in a repression of transcription. Small RNA mediated transcriptional silencing has been shown to be operative by changes in chromatin structure at the targeted promoter. Specifically, silencing has been observed to correlate with decreases in certain active-state histone modifications, increases in various certain-state histone methylation marks, and in some instances, DNA methylation at the targeted promoter. These epigenetic remodeling events represent a more stable, heritable form of gene regulation as opposed to the transitory post-transcriptional regulation observed in traditional RNAi mechanisms. Several recent findings have shed light on this newly discovered link between small RNA molecules and epigenetic regulatory machinery, notably in human cells.
